Digital BW, The Print

I do..=*^)

I always make at least three (3) - usually four (4) backups of the RAW 
originals - two sets of DVD's - each stored at a different site - and 
one set at the office plus the online hard drive copies. "Developed" - 
worked images (PSD Masters) backed up the same way and in addition I 
often make another (5th set) Master backup set on the hard drives. 
Guess I'll have to make another set soon with Adobe's new universal 
file format as well - or change it all over to that format - maybe....

Yeah, you don't ned to say it - when it comes to the safe keeping of my 
images I get kind of fanatic - on the other hand - there's a lot of 
time and effort gone into that stuff - and remember - you gotta leave 
something behind for those who's supposed to dissect you and your work 
when you're not around anymore - if nothing else - this will make it a 
lot easier for 'em...=*^)

Cheers,

Christer
